Association of Hospital Public Quality Reporting With Electronic Health Record Medication Safety Performance with David W Bates in JAMA Network Open.

Using a regression discontinuity design, we evaluate the causal impact of hospitals receiving negative publicly reported feedback on EHR-based clinical decision support system performance at prevent adverse drug events on performance in the subsequent year. We find that hospitals who receive negative public feedback improve significantly more in the following year, suggesting that public reporting of specific process quality outcomes can be a useful tool for policymakers seeking to incentivize improvement.

Physician EHR Time and Visit Volume Following Adoption of Team-Based Documentation Support with Nate Apathy and Dori Cross in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Using a novel national dataset of EHR metadata and newly developed difference-in-differences event study estimators for staggered treatment adoption, we evaluate the causal impact of physician adoption of team-based documentation support on their productivity and EHR burden. We find that team-based documentation support increased visit volume by 6.0% while reducing EHR documentation time by 9.1%. These effects intensified over time as physicians adapted to the new workflow, and the EHR burden reductions were realized only by physicians with greater team-based documentation intensity.

Assessment of Electronic Health Record Use Between US and Non-US Health Systems with N Lance Downing, David W Bates, Tait Shanafelt, Arnold Milstein, Topher Sharp, David Cutler, Robert Huckman, and Kevin Schulman in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Taking advantage of a novel dataset of EHR audit log measures across the entire Epic Systems customer base, we compare data from 371 health systems in the United States and abroad. We find that compared to their non-US peers, US clinicians spent more time per day actively using the EHR , documented using more automated note text via copy/paste and templates, and received more inbox messages per day. The median US clinician spent as much time actively using the EHR per day as a non-US clinician in the 99th percentile of active EHR use .
